David Wright is the face of the franchise and was going to hit 30 home runs, have the first hit at Citi Field, and win and MVP while leading the Mets to the World Series, right? Well to all the Mets fans reading my blog, sorry as all three of those did not come true, as he has 8 home runs, and Jody Gerut has the first, hit, home run, plate appearance, at-bat, XBH, and heartbreak for Mets fans, at Citi Field, although when Wright tied the game with a three run home run in the bottom of the fifth, maybe for a second, all those goals would come true. Sadly his line is 326/410 /462, and has been nailed in the head, and then wore the new more protective helmet, then ditched it for his old digs when he said it was too big, oh well.

Acquired: MLB First Year Player Draft

Mike Pelfrey was dubbed the number 2 starter, and a legit MLB pitcher by Omar Minaya, Jerry Manual, and the Wilpons, and sadly he has not panned out like us as Mets fans, and they would have liked, as he has compiled a 10-10 record, with an ERA of 4.83. His K-BB ratio is 93-61, with a WHIP of 1.51, and you just can not allow 1 1/2 runners on base per inning and expect to get out of it most of the time unscathed, see Daisuke Matsuzaka, and Oliver Perez on that topic. He still does have time to pan out, according to the great Tom Seaver because "a pitcher doesn't really learn how to pitch until about a 100 career starts, Pelf is at 76. Another point against him coming into the season is that he was on Tom Verducci's list of people effected by his ego-fueled Verducci effect, which is complete and total nonsense.

Acquired: Trade From Seattle, 2009 offseason.

JJ Putz and Fransisco Rodriguez were brought over to solidify the back end of the Mets bullpen, and finally get the Mets back into the playoffs, but going into the season Putz was not as effective as he was for Seattle, and the climax of his struggles came in Pittsburgh when he blew a lead to cost the Mets the win, and then found out he had an injury so he was placed on the DL, and was expected back in August, in August there was no news. Finally Omar Minaya spoke to the Press about Putz, saying he was going to opt for season ending surgery. After this season he has an option the Mets can either exercise, or not pick up and he will be a Type-B free agent and the Mets can get a draft pick for him, and at least get something...
